This collection of imagery found over at the LIFE archives features vintage photographs of skateboarders from the 1960s. The majority of the photos were published in a feature back in 1965, but several of the shots didn't make the original cut. Captured in Central Park and other areas of NYC, hit the thumbs for a detailed look at the origins of skateboarding in NYC. [Life]
